Australian pacer Pat Cummins has warned English batsmen that they should prepare themselves for a lot of bouncers that awaits them when the Ashes series begins next month.

Cummins came back to Australia after the 5-match ODI series against India which ended in India’s favor by 4-1. He will get the support of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood in a tall and fiery pace battery during the Ashes.

During a chat with the reporters in Sydney, the pacer said, “Hope you practice your bouncers because we’ll be bowling a lot of them. No one really likes it if you’ve got real pace and real accuracy. They play on slower wickets, not as much bounce, so over here … it’s one of our biggest strengths.”

He further elaborated, “We grow up on these wickets and as bowlers getting bounce has always been really important. I think we’re lucky that there’s a few of us who are all pretty tall and get a bit of bounce and like to bowl with a bit of pace. Hopefully, the wickets have a bit of pace and bounce in them, there’s nothing like getting your adrenaline up and then running in trying to bowl short.”

In 2011, Cummins made a sensational Test at an early age of 18 but his career has been filled with injuries since then. Due to those injuries, the five-test Ashes series, the first Test which starts on Nov. 23 at the Gabba in Brisbane, would be Cummins first Test on home soil. Talking about the same he said he was keen to make a similar impression to that which Mitchell Johnson made on the 2013-14 tour.
